“Anyone can have a good day now and then, but to be consistent enough to make it to a world competition takes a lot of hard work,” Norwood coach Aleth Rogers. “It’s a long season. We start in the fall and we just completed our last tournament Saturday, but it doesn’t stop there. These kids continue to practice throughout the summer, preparing for next year. We didn’t pull out any big wins at the world championships, but to say that you are among the best of the best is no small task. I am so proud of these kids.”
